Science Advancing Society

Dramatically shortening the timeline between discovery and societal impact through world-class research, training, and entrepreneurship in a nimble scientific enterprise.

The University of Oregon's Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact is an ambitious $1 billion initiative to fast-track scientific discoveries into innovations that improve quality of life for people in Oregon, the nation, and the world. The Knight Campus will work to reshape the state’s public higher education landscape by training new generations of scientists, engaging in new interdisciplinary research, forging tighter ties with industry and entrepreneurs, and creating new educational opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students.

The University of Oregon unveiled architectural renderings of the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, revealing a singular design where impact and curiosity will come to life.

It is hard to believe that it has been nearly a year since we launched the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. With the hard work of many on campus, I am pleased to say that visions — both of the campus and its programming — are rapidly turning into realities.

Science Knight Out

Science Knight Out, a community lecture series hosted by the Knight Campus, featured A Spectrum of Promise: a multidisciplinary approach to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, a talk by Laura Lee McIntyre on November 14, 2017, at the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts. McIntyre, of the UO's College of Education, discussed how early identification of developmental disorders can lead to promising intervention and prevention strategies.

The Future Starts Now
